Message:: [QUOTE="Shortgapbob, post: 216744, member: 6088"]There is still quite a bit of doubt as to the authenticity of this coin.  The TPGs will not grade it, as they cannot confirm that it is real.  I know that many of the leading coin dealers are skeptical of the coin, stating that something does not look "right" about it.  I believe that one of the nation's most prominent error dealers has stated that the coin has a "dead" look to it.  Under magnification, it apparently shows little natural texture to the metal and has no flow lines on the planchet.   I think that although many are doubtful as to its authenticity, they cannot conclusively point to anything that would label it as a counterfeit.  So, therefore, the jury is still out on the 1959-D Wheat Cent.[/QUOTE]
